For me, the progress of each student is everything. While working predominantly with preschoolers and elementary students at that time, I saw how they made their first steps in the subjects — these are the moments I cherish most.

Does your 1st Grader Need Extra Math Support?

Every child learns at a different pace, but a few patterns are common in kids who could benefit from extra one-on-one math support:

Counts by rote (1, 2, 3…) without connecting numbers to actual quantities
Has trouble recognizing small groups of objects without counting them one by one
Mixes up addition and subtraction, or isn’t sure which operation a word problem calls for
Can add small numbers but struggles once numbers involve tens and ones
Avoids math homework or says they’re “bad at math”

These are common stages in learning math, not necessarily cause for concern on their own. A short diagnostic test can show which areas, if any, need attention.

Mr. Sam Made Learning Fun for My Daughter. My daughter usually dislikes reading and studying, so it has always been a challenge to keep her engaged with learning. Since starting classes with Mr. Sam at Brighterly, that has completely changed. She actually looks forward to her lessons, which says a lot!

The tutor assigned to my daughter made her feel like she can conquer math. She was very patient and kept encouraging her to believe in herself and her abilities. She discovered her strengths and shortcomings in the first 15 minutes of the lesson! She was just awesome.
